I think that I can live with the new UI once I am used to it. One thing i am really missing is a way to switch quicky between the different views: Global stream, personal stream and new pictures. I am one of those who switch very often.

Tolga GumusayakI like the "likes" things and the larger images. It used to clutter the front page. This is much nicer. I am not sure about bigger IOTD and forums updates. I don't think it was necessary.

I preferred when forum updated where of to the right as well. Current location is just an obstruction to what i am on that page for

I just added the quick-switch buttons and made some improvements for mobile devices. Please note that if you want to change your preferred view permanently, you still need to do it in the settings (cog icon in the header, after the quick switches).

Think of it this way: you're sacrificing some space on top to have overall more space. Now the "latest from the forum" doesn't take valuable horizontal space, forcing the stream section to be narrower.

Thank you Salvatore! … I am starting to get used to the new UI. And liking it.

Salvatore,Did the update cause this to happen. Every time I click on someones image for the past 3-4 hours. I get this fatal error messages

Fatal error (Nothing to worry about, it's not your fault.)Something unexpected occurred! We have received an email with technical details, so we will try to fix the problem as soon as possible. Sorry about the inconvenience!

Hi Orlando,odd, I should receive emails from the server when that happens… Where can I contact you with a real time chat so I can send you to a version of the site with debugging enabled, so you can tell me the exact error message?
